This article lists the G5 and G6. I'm not aware that the G6 was deployed during Moduler. Can anyone confirm/cite references? --Magicmike 02:01, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was 3 "pre-production" G6's that were sent in quite a hurry. They wanted to send a full troop of 4 units (half a battery) but only 3 were ready. South African Military History Society - Journal- SOUTH AFRICA'S MODERN LONG TOM Roger 12:33, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Many Western Sources (Kissinger, Stockwell, Gleisejes, and cuban sources, assert that the Angolan government FAPLA advance was against Cuban advice, and they refused to participate in it. Cuban regular troops remained in Angola, but elsewhere, until the SADF reached Cuito Cuanavale itself. I deleted the word Cuban in several places.
